The two songs which made the Siste Sjansen round, which will be held on the 5th of February in Sorpsborg are:

Sie Gubba –Alt du vil ha Use Me –Daisy

Therefore thethree songs which failed to make either the Siste Sjansen or the Final:

Our readers widely didn't agree with the actual outcome of the first semifinal of the Norwegian MGP. Only Helene was correctly predicted to qualify, while Åste& Rikke only came 6th in our poll, where Sichelle was also strongly supported. The latter has failed to make it to the final.
